I just did a brand new installation of CentOS 5.5 (an RHEL 5.5 clone),
updated it ("yum update") and pulled in
amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386.rpm. I installed like so:
[r...@quartz ~]# yum --nogpgcheck install
amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
...
Examining amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386.rpm:

It seem this package hit a YUM bug.
I then tried it the old fashioned way:
[r...@quartz ~]# rpm -ivh amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
amanda-backup_client conflicts with
amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386
[r...@quartz ~]#
However, I never installed the offending package.
